In Malaysia, the Melayu community is an integral part of the country's multicultural fabric. For Malay high school students, their cultural background plays a significant role in shaping their values, attitudes, and behaviors, including in relationships. Traditional Malay values emphasize the importance of family, respect for elders, and community ties. However, in the context of modern Malaysia, these traditional values are often blended with contemporary influences from social media, popular culture, and global trends.
